Verified by Toppr

We have,

=(−16/35)×(14/−15) [∵ reciprocal of (−15/14) is (14/−15)]

The product of two rational numbers= (product of their numerator)/(product of their denominator)

=  

(35×−15)

(−16×14)

​

 

On simplifying,

=  

(5×−15)

(−16×2)

​

 

=(−32/−75)

=(32/75)

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

we have.

=(−16/35)×(14/−15) [∵ reciprocal of (−15/14) is (14/−15)]

The product of two rational numbers= (product of their numerator)/(product of their denominator)

$= \frac{(35 \times - 15)}{ (- 16 \times 14)}$

$on \: simplifying. \\ = \frac{ (- 16 \times 2)}{(5 \times - 15)}$

=(−32/−75)

=(32/75).
